Preview

Match preview

Bottom-of-the-table Dunav Ruse host Botev Vratsa in round 10 of the First League, aiming to snap a difficult stretch of form. Dunav Ruse sit in 14th place with four points from their opening fixtures and remain winless on home turf, having managed just one draw and three defeats while scoring only two goals at home.

Botev Vratsa enter the encounter in ninth position on eight points and have shown signs of improvement, securing two victories across their last three league outings. That run includes a recent 3-2 away triumph over Septemvri Sofia and a 1-0 home win against Botev Plovdiv.

Dunav Ruse have struggled for attacking consistency at home, failing to score in three of their four home matches. Given the hosts ongoing offensive difficulties and Botev Vratsa's recent upturn in results, the visitors look well positioned to come away with at least a point.
